Kylin Hill, RB, Mississippi State

Pre-Draft Analysis from ESPN

Hill's contact balance, effort and foot speed make it tough to bring him down to the ground. He is quick through the hole, but his top-end speed doesn't make him much of a threat to pull away when he gets a seam. He tracks the ball well and he has solid ball skills for a back. -- Steve Muench
